I find Dreamland a beautiful, disturbing, heartachingly sensitive "story" of human desire. For those looking for yet another cheesy peep show, this book is bound to be a disappointment. For anyone interested in exploring the borderlines where lust and virtue, gratification and despair, dreams and reality, generosity and commerce blur, this book is a thought-provoking treasure and a feast for the eye.

I expected the book to be filled with photos in the style of the one shown on the book cover.

After 4 months of delays waiting for it to be published, what arrived on my doorstop was a book with nearly half of its pages that have various shots of the "Hollywood" sign under different lighting conditions.

BORING!

Jeff Burton is an amazing photographer. His book covers and uncovers it all! It is sexy, funny, shocking, and beautiful. I find it difficult to choose favorites. I love the man with tattoo and the woman's nylons. The cat and the shredded draperies made me smile.
Burton's work can be so subtle and then pow! When will we see book 3?

Jeff is a friend --so if you like his work --you will LOVE THIS BOOK .. Hard to find.. but Amazon had it .. now I have it -- YES!!!!!

As a another customer commented, you might expect the contents of this book to reflect the photo on the cover. But that would be a mistake. If you're expecting something along the lines of Roffman or Underhill, this book isn't for you -- the subject matter is grittier and the suggestive nudity depicts mixed sexes in many shots. Most surprising, though, is that most of the pages aren't sexual at all and instead seem to focus on the Hollywood sign, L.A. buildings, and nature scenes.
